Very excited about this weekend because all-star footballer David Bechham is playing against our local Wellington Phoenix. He probably could beat Phoenix on his own but he also has the rest of the LA Galaxy with him. Its a friendly match on the Saturday. David has signed up that he must play at least 55 minutes of the match (the local council who are subsidising the game stipulated this!).
What he won't realise is that although the Wellington Phoenix are near the bottom of the Australian league (the A-league) and hence a bit rubbish.. the fans are totally bananas, and known to be the loudest in the A-league! The fan club (the Yellow Fever) organise a different song for the terraces each week. They are organised by a highly loyal bunch of ex-pats from the UK - but in total around 10,000 yellow-and-black Phoenix fans turn up each week and are known to have a lot more energy than the rugby fans. It is very funny to hear all the British accents and the chants that come straight from the Premier League, e.g. when Adelaide came to play in their red and white strips, they were politely told that 'they're red, they're white, they're full of f***in sh**e' as they came on to the field. The players were a bit stunned because soccer is a completely family sport in Australia - not the case here!
Already some songs have been prepared by the Yellow Fever:
Loos, Loos, Rebecca Loos, Loos, Loose, Rebecca Loos.
Beckham's come to Welly, his knees have turned to jelly, Come on Phoenix, come on Phoenix!
Oh dear!
